2.1.5.5. Parameter Preferences and Other Actions

Some parameters support preferences (defaults) that allow you to change the default
value of the parameter. To access the preference controls for a parameter, right-click the
parameter name to display a context menu with options for setting and clearing parameter
preferences.

Preferences can be User or All User. User preferences are set for a particular user,
and All User preferences are set for all users. If an All User preference and a User
preference are set for the same parameter, the User preference takes precedence.

The following options may be available on the context menu:

Set as Preference: Sets the preference value for a parameter.
Future instances of the parameter start with this value.

Restore Value to Preference: Resets the parameter value to the
preference value.

Restore All Values to Preference: Resets all parameter values on
the property grid to their preference values.

Restore Value to Default: Resets the parameter value to its
original default value.

Restore All Values to Default: Resets all parameter values on the
property grid to their original defaults.

Clear Preference: Clears the preference for a parameter. Future
instances of the parameter do not use the cleared preference value.

Propagate Values to Similar Objects: Propagates this parameter
value to the same parameter in other related objects to make it easier to change a
parameter common to a set of objects. This option is enabled for specific objects (for
example, plot series) and it is not preference related.

Copy Parameter Description: Copy the currently selected
parameter's description to the Clipboard. Some descriptions are long and are cut off
in the description area. This option allows you to copy and subsequently paste the
text into another window such as Notepad for easier viewing.
